(19,537 posts)If Indian farmers who have been roped in to using GMOs are all committing suicide because their farming life has been destroyed with this newer methodology, how is that helping them? NOONE answers that amongst other things I bring up, they instead tell me that unless I complain about all "hybrid solutions" that I shouldn't even argue anything. That's just crap, and doesn't seek to try to break down the truth, but just trying to intimidate others in to not saying anything.
Certain corporate interests must have a lot of money flowing in to some people's pockets in some of these threads. Not understanding the emotional reactions for GMO farming here. I could see people being skeptical and asking for explanations of what is wrong with them, etc. if they don't know, or if they do know, asking a lot of questions to those who do have concerns to narrow down how they think their truth is more accurate than others who post here. But the way the talk is going here, like PatSeg must noted, doesn't seem like an effort to have a real honest discussion on the value or no of GMO farming, but just trying to push it on to us as "inevitable" like some other things are being pushed on to us. I hope that some here will attempt more to have an honest discussion on where "we have it wrong" or pull back on the intimidation tactics. It's conversations like this that lead many to leave DU. Perhaps that is by design, since perhaps that's what some may want here.
